    Mr. Heater Big Maxx caught on fire...warranty?

    The heater gets good airflow, its far enough from the wall and there are no obstructions. What do you mean by excessive cycling? Like constantly turning on and off causing the heat exchanger to expand and contract a lot? When it's on, it usually stays on for a long time, only my walls are...

    Mr. Heater Big Maxx caught on fire...warranty?

    Signed a Oil and Gas lease. Sold the mineral rights but we are allowed to keep our gas well. Added a stipulation that said when they drill, if we lose our gas well for whatever reasons, (fracking, pipeline running through the path of the well), they would supply us with natural gas or propane...

    Mr. Heater Big Maxx caught on fire...warranty?

    Better check the gas pressure. Never did check it when I installed it. Glad to hear they have a 10 yr warranty! I called about 5 times but couldnt get through to anybody.

    Mr. Heater Big Maxx caught on fire...warranty?

    Well not literally, but one of the bends in the heat exchanger tubes got a hole in it and part of the flame was coming out of the hole. Glad I caught it in time because that really could have started a fire if left long enough. Has anybody had this issue with the Big maxx? I believe mine is the...

    Wiring a 220v 80gal compressor?

    The wire I have is a very thick coil with 4 wires. Neighbor gave it to me because he had it laying around and said it is very expensive to buy. When I took off the cover to the on/off switch there was a red, black and green wire. From what I understand the white wires are used on appliances that...

    Question

    Im 18 (young buck on here) and in college and pretty much was doing the same thing your son was. Same scenario, 20x40 garage, always had friends hang out in the up stairs and worked on stuff a lot. Not gonna lie, we made a mess and rarely picked it up. Then my parents straight up told me if I...

    I was gonna say you can use single wall vent pipe but that was for the mhu75ng model. Anyone know where the B vent pipe can be purchased? I'm gonna have an electrician wire it and another hook up the gas lines. Figured I might as well mount it and run the vent line since its pretty straight...

    Mr. Heater big maxx 80,000btu install

    Haha that was a typo, I know the basics about having the vent line rise 1 inch for every 4 feet and having a switch in the wire for emergency shut off. Just confused what the heck a "B" pipe is and if its any different than the pipe i have pictured in my head that they sell at lowes. (Northern...
